Question about rating

My 8 year old was given this game for Christmas. It has a T rating. Crude humor and mild violence don't worry me but "Suggestive themes" does. He has his heart set on playing it but without me playing through the whole thing it is hard for me to tell what the reason for the T rating is. Can anyone who has played this let me know what they think about an 8 year old playing this game?

Great edition to sims games

I have enjoyed this game because it was unlike other sims games. It has brought me hours of fun trying to master the different skills on the island.

Bought this for my daughter. She seems to be having fun with it, altho watching it, the graphics could be better. I was just wondering why it is only for game stations and not computer. but, that is ok with me too as it frees up the computer!

A Good Sims Game

I really liked how this Sims changed up the normal format and had you create almost all items used in the game, even your house. It wasn't without its glitches though. When I would go to build a new shelter, sometimes it would not let me build a section of wall. It did this usually when I would get tired while building the shelter. In the middle of building the wall my Sim would freak and want to go to bed. After that, I could never finish that section of wall. Also, the chimps don't wait nearly long enough when they bring you what they have collected for you. Half the time when I was in the middle of something and canceled my action to go to the chimp, it would take to long for my Sim to actually stop and go to the chimp. The chimp would leave with my stuff. Other than that, I really enjoyed the game and I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the console Sims games.

Great Game

I love this game. I play it for hours. Some people are saying that the Sims computer games are better, but I honestly don't think so. This game allows you to create all different objects and items from trees and plants. It's really fun and you won't regret buying it.

Could keep me busy for days.

Hubby is the gamer in the house and I have seen a lot of games pass through our PS2, but this one is ALL MINE!! Originally, I bought it for him, but he wasn't into it because he couldn't win it in 3 or 4 sittings. He's the type of guy who will sit down and play it through and try to win it as fast as he can. This game is a lot more involved than that. You spend a lot of time collecting and gathering, which is quite relaxing. If I play this game late at night I find myself dozing off and it's not because it's boring... it's just a nice, slow-paced game. There are many goals you must accomplish which are established in books and journals that are found on the beaches. Your sim will find a lot of objects that will become useful.

To sum it up, you create your sim or group of sims (I think you can have up to six, but I only created two). You get thrown off your boat and stranded and you must find a way to survive on your own, find your crewmates, travel around the island, discover new islands (and treasures), and your goal is to eventually radio for help.

I have put MANY hours into it and I've made it to the third island, but still have a long way to go. I might suggest a strategy guide, although I have not used one. You can probably find a lot of valuable information via the internet. I would suggest renting this one to see if it's your cup of tea. I personally enjoy it a lot, but it's tricky. I haven't seen a reason why it couldn't be played by a kid (no bad content--correct me if I'm wrong) aside from the sims using the toilet, which is done behind a curtain and bathing, which is done in underwear with a blur over the private areas. You can get attacked by a pig, which startles you, but there is just a dust cloud, no blood... and if you don't take care of yourself you will die, but your other sims can bring you back to life with potion.
